Discerne Causam Meam

Struggling to be Catholic and adapting to Catholic Social Teaching. St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Robert Bellarmine, pray for me!

I love You Papa Bene <3

Pope Francis gave the Urbi et Orbi blessing towards a rainy, empty Saint Peter’s Square. 

Feels like the end of the world.

The Plenary Indulgence is granted to the faithful suffering from Coronavirus, who are subject to quarantine by order of the health authority in hospitals or in their own homes if, with a spirit detached from any sin, they unite spiritually through the media to the celebration of Holy Mass, the recitation of the Holy Rosary, to the pious practice of the Way of the Cross or other forms of devotion, or if at least they will recite the Creed, the Lord's Prayer and a pious invocation to the Blessed Virgin Mary, offering this trial in a spirit of faith in God and charity towards their brothers and sisters, with the will to fulfil the usual conditions (sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion and prayer according to the Holy Father's intentions), as soon as possible.

Health care workers, family members and all those who, following the example of the Good Samaritan, exposing themselves to the risk of contagion, care for the sick of Coronavirus according to the words of the divine Redeemer: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (Jn 15: 13), will obtain the same gift of the Plenary Indulgence under the same conditions.

This Apostolic Penitentiary also willingly grants a Plenary Indulgence under the same conditions on the occasion of the current world epidemic, also to those faithful who offer a visit to the Blessed Sacrament, or Eucharistic adoration, or reading the Holy Scriptures for at least half an hour, or the recitation of the Holy Rosary, or the pious exercise of the Way of the Cross, or the recitation of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, to implore from Almighty God the end of the epidemic, relief for those who are afflicted and eternal salvation for those whom the Lord has called to Himself.

Washington Lt. Gov. Cyrus Habib will not seek re-election in order to join the Jesuits

Cyrus Habib is interrupting what had been a rapid political assent to join the Catholic Church’s largest religious order.

But Mr. Habib has decided to abandon further political accomplishment in exchange for vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. “I have done the work of discerning that [the political life is] not the path to happiness for me…. I could become [U.S.] secretary of state and there would still be this thing in me that I would try to fill with accolades and titles and media,” Mr. Habib said. “There would be this hunger, this thirst, this thing that would be unquenched.”

Pray for him and his vocation!

These are so contrary to what I’m used to seeing from Francis. Maybe there’s hope for him yet?

[crownedpatriot]

If you look at the time stamps he’s been saying these things throughout his Papacy, you’ve just allowed the media to manipulate your understanding of His Holiness to one without nuance.

PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS XAVIER FOR THE CONVERSION OF INFIDELS

O Eternal God, Creator of all things, remember that Thou alone didst create the souls of infidels, framing them to Thy Own image and likeness; behold, O Lord! how, to Thy dishonor, Hell is daily replenished with them. Remember, O Lord! Thy Only Son, Jesus Christ, Who suffered for them, most bountifully shedding His Precious Blood: suffer not, O Lord Thy Son and our Lord to be any longer despised by infidels; but rather, being appeased by the entreaties and prayers of the elect, the Saints, and of the Church, the most blessed spouse of Thy Son, vouchsafe to be mindful of Thy mercy, and forgetting their idolatry and infidelity, cause them also to know Him Whom Thou didst send, Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Lord, Who is our health, life, and resurrection, through Whom we are freed and saved, to Whom be all glory forever.

Am I happy with how things are going in Catholicism? Not really.

But may fire engulf me before I ever break faith with Francis, who is Peter.

Tbh if Sarah did get elected he should name himself after an African saint to stunt on the racists who will inevitably dislike his ascension

I am a devout Catholic, but there is an infamous christian billboard in Detroit that reads like a Grade-A, top-tier shitpost, and I cannot handle it every time I see it.

“We are such value to God that He came to live among us… and to guide us home. He will go to any length to seek us, even to being lifted high upon the cross to draw us back to Himself. We can only respond by loving God for His love.”

The President should probably be impeached and convicted tbh.

But oh well, everything is terrible and nothing matters anymore.
